PAINTING THE GAS PIPES RED.
Mayor Ames's Method of Getting
Square with Il Stingy Store
keeper.

Mavor Ames, of St. Paul, took walk
up~Mi Micollet avenue to inspect the lllu,
mil4 ?s4Ja. At the corner ef Fifth street
his Honor passed and inspected with
tom 2siusity the gas fixtures in front
o. s lorting goods store OF W. L. Best
( Mr.. Best, it should be remem-
6ercd, had for some reason refused to
stand his pro rata of the expense of the
illumination, and when information
reached the Mayor his Honor said that
rather than have break in the illumi-
nation he would bear Mr.. Best's amount
himself, upon condition that the fixtures
should be painted bright red. When
Mr.. Best, after a final appeal had been
made, refused to contribute to the illu
mination fund, the Mayors offer was nc-
cepted and the gas pipes were painted Il
rich carmine. This unusual decoration
attracted general attention to the fact
that Mr.. Best had refused to help the
illumination, and resulted i'll no little
amusement.
Mr.. Best was acc )rdinglv not in the
best of humor, and when he approached
the Mayor he looked like man who
wanted to have trouble.
"Mr. Mayor" he said, "havent you
been too hasty:''
CLOVIS that" asked the Mayor.
"Why, having the gas pipe i'll front of
my store painted red, responded Mr..
Best
Il don't see that | haye,' coolly re
sponded his Honor. I'm paying Tor
the expense Of that illumination, and
onght to be allowed to have the pipes
painted any color want, l don't see
whv it shonld concern you. You do not
own the sidewalk nor the gutter, ana
are going to have the benefit of the lllu-
mination at my expense. In fact, L
think it's rather cheeky Of you to crit
else my little private illumination. BY
the way, | see you have been sorapin$
the paint off. l will send man mp ana
have him paint it over again.
Mr.. Best indicated he intended to sae
the illumination committee.
"Don't sue the committee" said the
Mavor. "Sue me; I ordered those pipes
painted red. | doa't know you from II
side of sole leather, and don't want to
offend you personally. [ told the com-
lnttee I'd stand the expense OF any one

PUZZLING THE MINISTER.
Why the Scotch MilIers Wear White
Caps.

The parish minister in town not 4
hundred miles from DunfcTmline, Fife
shire, was recently going the round OF
all the Board Schools in the course OF
systematic examinations. The day was
warm, and the minister, feeling exhaust
ed on reaching the school, took seat
for a few minutes to cool down and re
cover his breath; hut even while DONG
SO he thought he might as well utilize
the time IN congenial way, beng na-
turally bit of a wag. So he addressed
the boys thus: "Well, lads, can any Of
You tell me why black sheep eat less
than white shcap?" There was no an
swer to this question, and the minister
after telling them that it was because
there was less of them, with pretended
severity said he was sorry to see them
in such state of ignorance as not to be
able to answer such IL simple question,
but he would give them another. "Can
any Of you lads tell me what Bishop of
the Church of England has theQargest
hat 2" Here the 'eliff!!lls4sn were aesai4Seer-
nered for a solution. "What don't
You know" said the minister, "that the
Bishop with the largest hat is the
Bishop with the largest head But sec
ing 1 have been giving you some puz-
zling questions, will now allow you to
have your turn and pnt some questions
to me, to see if ! can answer them. ="
Silence fell upon the whole school. No
one was bold enough apparently to
tackle the minister. At length, from
the far corner of the room, little chap
of about seven years got up to his feet,
and, with an audacity that actually ap-
palled the minister, cried out, in a shrill,
piping voice, but with the utmost sung
.tr0jd-"Can you tell me why milIers
wear white caps?" The minister was
perfectly astounded, and for the life of
him could find no solution of the prob
lem. He began to feel somewhat un-
comfortable, while the master frowned
with awful threatening in his glance at
the undaunted young cu2prit, who stood
calmly waiting a reply to his poser
"No, my boy" said the minister at
length, 81 cannot tell why millers wear
white caps. What is the reason 2"
"Weel, sir, replied the young shaver,
"millers wear white caps just to cover
their heads" It is needless to remark
that the roar which followed rather dis
concerted the minister, and he had some
difficulty afterwards in proceeding with
his official examination. .ScottiM Amcr-

JefferSOn'S Education.

For boy born in a wilderness, Jeffer-
son enjoyed remarkable advantages in
early youth, growing out of the fact that
the frontier was as yet so near the parent
colony. Good English tuition at 3,
Latin, Greek and French at 8, regular
classical studies at IA, and college
course at II, fall to the lot of few Ameri
can backwoods boys. Trapping quails
and shooting wild turkeys, deer stalk
ing, fox hunting, and horse racing do
not figure to any extent as his biograph-
ical exploits. jefferson the boy is book
worm-Jefferson the youth is the petted
member of an exclusive coterie, social,
aristocratic, and literary. The accom-
plishments and courtly habits of the
town effaces ali the characteristics of the
country lad, or rather soften them down
and leave them but two i'll number-the
keen zest of horsemanship and true love
of nature-the pure and passionate adj
miration of plant and blossom, of rock
and stream, of fresh air and blue sky.
These are the legacy of the forest; all else
he learns from books and the social ira
ditions which drift from the old world
to the new Yet such is the strength of
natures influences that by these two
slender threads she held this nursing of
society and made him the apostle and
bulwark of that primitive equality he
abandoned, against the pretensions and
claims of caste and privilege to the favors
of which he largely owed the develop
ment, if not the awakening, of his genius.
